Li Bingzhe, the fierce general of the Han army, came out of the house in a menacing manner with more than 140 people left by Niu Lu.
I found that the person had run away, so I came back. I saw that the entrance to the village had not been captured yet. A large number of officers and soldiers were blocked in the streets and could not get out.
Suddenly, the Qiqiao was filled with smoke.
He yelled: "Push out the shield cart, use the shield cart to block the firecrackers, and rush out. Are they all pig brains?"
It's really a word that wakes up the dreamer, yes. Each armor of the Han military flag is equipped with a shield chariot. This is the standard equipment of Jiannu heavy infantry.
So, a large group of people ran back with a rumble. Except for the more than a hundred musketeers at the entrance of the village, who shot with blunderbuss, portal guns and other firearms, the other infantrymen went back to look for large shields and shield carts.
"Look, what is that? Isn't that the nine-section gun that we eliminated?" Ji Liang shouted in surprise.
Everyone exclaimed, isn't it? A new team of hundreds of households came from the opposite side.
Ji Liang looked at it for a while and said: "The number of Niulu in the Han Army Banner is 200, which is less than the 300 Niulu in the Eight Banners. These people are only about a hundred people. It seems to be half a Niulu."
Niu Lu is divided into two types: permanent Niu Lu and half-point Niu Lu. Half-point Niulu only has half the number of people, usually special units. Such as artillery, etc.
Niulu Ezhen is also the leader, and the Eight Banners have 300 people. Each Niulu of the Han Army Banner and the Mongolian Eight Banners has 200 people. This was to highlight the Eight Banners' military superiority and to deter the Mongolian and Han armies.
During the Huang Taiji period, the Eight Banners of Manchuria had a total of 310 Niulu, a total of 93,000 people. There are 120 Niulu in the Eight Banners of Mongolia, totaling 36,000 people. There were 164 Niulu in the Eight Banners of the Han Army, totaling 33,000 people, and the total strength reached nearly 170,000.
But at this time, the Han military flag already existed, but it had not yet been formally incorporated into the Eight Banners system.
After 1642, the Han military flag officially joined the Eight Banners sequence. It was renamed the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty. The Mongolian military flag also existed at this time, but it was not until 1635 that it officially entered the Eight Banners sequence and was called the Eight Mongolian Banners.
In addition to the 170,000 directly affiliated troops, Huang Taiji could also mobilize the five tribes of Inner Khalkha, the Horqin tribe, and the Duoyan tribe who had fled to Liaodong, such as the Subudi tribe, the three Solon tribes, the three Linzhong surnames, Daur, Beishan savages, and envoys who had fled to Liaodong. The Lu Ewenki, Hezhe and other tribes have more than 100,000 troops.
Also defecting from Lin Danhan were the Nenhorqin, Jarut, Bahrain, Naiman, Aohan, Alukorqin, Ongniut, Asut and other tribes, with a total strength of about 100,000.
At this time, Jiannu was very powerful, with no less than 400,000 people gathered together. Unless, of course, they don't want to. Pull everyone out. Otherwise this is impossible.
But this strength is also comparable to Mongolia, which is why Yang Fan has never taken the initiative to provoke.
Faced with a plate of scattered Mongolians, Yang Fan decided to pick the soft ones first when eating the persimmons. After taking control of Mongolia, the right arm of Jiannu was cut off. The situation will not completely collapse.
So far, Yang Fan has scored one of three points in Mongolia.
Oirat now controls 30% of Mongolia. Yang Fan controls 30% of Mongolia. Lin Danhan and Huang Taiji each have half of the remaining 40%.
They are both fighting for the other's half. If you can annex the opponent's tribe, you can form an advantage in Mongolia as a whole.
Historically, the Qing Dynasty once controlled two-thirds of Mongolia. Even with the remaining 30%, the Dzungars almost failed to make a comeback in the end.
Therefore, Yang Fan did not plan to build slaves before solving Oirat.
But Huang Taiji couldn't be too comfortable, seeing that Mao Wenlong was about to die. Without Governor Zuo, Huang Taiji would have no control.
Yang Fan had been guarding against this for a long time and established a settlement in Vladivostok in advance.
The purpose is to control the Tumen River Basin. Then they competed for the Hezhe, Oroqen, Daur and other tribes in the Ussuri River Basin, as well as the savage Jurchen tribes.
When Mao Wenlong is finished, the Tumen River area will soon become a climate.
Let them attack Jiannu from the east. In short, Yang Fan will not let Huang Taiji develop obscenely.
Yang Fan has prepared several set meals, but there is always one that makes Huang Taiji unable to eat, unable to spit it out, and makes him sick to death.
One hundred musketeers leaned behind the various furniture shelters they had moved. Open fire outside the village entrance. at this time. The two sides fought for a long time, and they could already see that the other side was hiding behind stone mills, ditches, and big trees. Half-prostrate and shoot at them.
This surprised them greatly. How could these people load the muskets while lying on their stomachs?
The veterans of the servants had participated in the Battle of Rock Beach, but they had all become officers at this time. None of these people have used this thing much now. They started with flintlock guns.
However, at this time they discovered that the firepower of this thing was still remarkable. It's just that the accuracy is too poor.
The lead bullet hit the stone mill and sparks flew everywhere. After all, with a hundred people, the firepower is relatively intensive under three-stage shooting.
But Ji Liang soon discovered that their nine-section repeating gun actually had a bamboo section and the barrel was extremely thick. Moreover, the butt is also very heavy and primitive, similar to the hook butt of a gun.
Ji Liangliang said, this is a piece of shit. Not as good as those eliminated before. At least the butt is very elegant.
A man wearing Niulu Ezhen's clothes was shouting and giving directions. There were several junior officers from Niulu running around shouting at the soldiers. Immediately afterwards, he was shot by several revolvers. The unlucky guy was hit four or five times and fell to the ground.
Niu Lu is not a small establishment. Compared with modern battalions, the number of people is not much smaller. Therefore, Niulu must have a certain organizational structure within it. Not many people know this.
Below Niu Lu Ezhen, there are several types of officers and subordinate officials who are half officers and half civilians. The first one is the Xiao Riding School, which is Niu Lu's real deputy. There is only one person in each Niu Lu.
The commander of the Xiao Riding School is the vest. Manchuria and Mongolia each commanded twenty men in vests. Each commander of the Han army commanded forty-two men in vests.
Why are there so many Han military flags and vests? It may be that the combat effectiveness is weak and the number of people is too small to be of any use. There could be other reasons as well.
A vest is a man wearing armor, an elite force. The salary is super high, 43 taels of silver a year, which is about the same as a county magistrate. Of course, the cost of raising horses is also included.
The second one is Bashiku, whose Chinese name is Lingdui. Lingcui is a low-ranking military post, and is set up under each of the eight banners of the Manchu, Mongolian, and Han armies. Choose from horse soldiers and literate people.
The Eight Banners Manchu and Mongolian military leaders urged six soldiers because many of them were illiterate. The Eight Banners Han Army Leader led four soldiers, whose main tasks were to register files and collect food and pay and other military affairs.
Now, the ones leading the continuous-fire firearms soldiers to fire here are the leaders. Adding the four soldiers, there are exactly five people, which is the same as a team of servants.
The revolver has an effective range of fifty meters. Although the fire door gun on the opposite side is a repeating gun, its accurate range is only nine meters. It must focus its fire within thirty meters to be effective. It's basically impossible to hit those outside of thirty.
The two sides exchanged fire, and those who were knocked down were basically those holding torches and illuminated by the background of the burning house. Standing and half-crouching soldiers firing and reloading the banners of the Han army. As for the servants, they were all lying down in the darkness, with very few casualties.
Fortunately, we brought a lot of bullets this time. Each person had a full 240 rounds, enough to reload forty times.
At this time, a rumbling sound came over, and it turned out that the people from the Han Army Banner had arrived pushing the shield cart.
